Maidenhead United have been dragged right back into the Blue Square South relegation dogfight after four straight defeats.

It seemed that Magpies’ incredible form away from home could have saved them this season as, just weeks ago, they were in midtable with one eye on a late push for the play-offs.

However, Easter Monday’s 2-1 loss at home to Thurrock has left Johnson Hippolyte’s side just one point off the drop zone with seven games left to play.

They face a proverbial six-pointer tomorrow, however, as Welling United, the side just one place ahead of Maidenhead, travel to York Road. Magpies will need top-scorer Manny Williams in top form for the battle against the drop.

The striker scored Magpies’ only goal against Thurrock, taking him to 19 for the season, the fifth-highest scorer in the division.

Elsewehere, Didcot Town host Winchester City in the British Gas Southern League South West Division tomorrow for their third home game in a week.

Any lingering hopes of automatic promotion seem to have evaporated for the Railwaymen, as only one point from nine has left them eight points off leaders Farnborough.

However, with an 11-point gap between themselves and sixth place, it seems certain that Didcot will be in the play-off zone come the end of the season.

However, confidence is low at the moment at Loop Meadow, and the side would desperately love a repeat of the last time the sides met, when Didcot ran out 4-1 winners. Andy Williams may return to the side after three-weeks out with a hamstring injury.

Thatcham Town are still reeling from the shock resignation of joint managers Lee Tillen and John Goddard following last Saturday’s 3-0 loss at Abingdon.

The past week has seen a number of insults traded between the two managers and their former employers as it becomes clear that relationships within the Waterside Park club had become soured.

The two handed in their resignations following a bizarre turn of events involving themselves and current caretaker manager Gary Ackling, as well as a letter passed to Goddard by a barman before a recent game warning him to concentrate his post-match comments on the team and their performance, rather than the referee.

Goddard had recently been hit with an FA misconduct charge for an alleged comment made to a referee. Ackling, who has expressed a desire to take on the managerial role full-time, will take charge for tomorrow’s visit of Hillingdon Borough, with new signing James Clarke hoping to make his first start in midfield.

Bracknell Town travel to Abingdon United tomorrow safe in the knowledge that Gilbert Nuako and skipper Neil Baker will be available for the trip. The two were given their marching orders on Monday night as the Robins went down 1-0 at Godalming, but their suspensions won’t kick in until after the game.

It seems John Swift and Jamie Clarke could also be let off their suspensions after each picking up five yellow cards.

Reading Town travel to Bedfont tomorrow looking to build on two straight wins.With five goals scored and none conceded in the last two, Reading are full of confidence as they look to secure a top-10 finish.

Sandhurst Town are facing their second-successive derby as they travel the short distance to third-placed Camberley Town. The Fizzers were dispatched 3-0 by Reading at Scours Lane on Easter Monday, and boss Pete Browning has challenged his team to toughen up for the trip to Camberley.

AFC Wallingford travel to high-flying Hungerford Town in the Hellenic Premier Division as they look to finish their doomed season on a high. Binfield manager Richard Whitty has vowed to change his side around after their 1-0 defeat to Wokingham & Emmbrook on Monday, the first game to be played under the new floodlights at Stubbs Lane.

Carl Withers and Mark Millward could see themselves drafted into the team for their trip to second-from-bottom Prestwood on Saturday in the Hellenic Division 1 East..

Finchampstead’s defeat of local rivals Wokingham & Emmbrook last weekend was marred by the broken ankle sustained by Chris White, forcing him out for the rest of the season.

They host Kintbury Rangers, while high-flying Henley Town host Ascot United.Wokingham & Emmbrook face Bisley Sports at Lowther Road. Holyport and Marlow United are without a league fixture this weekend.
